Ido not know Law to answer the question. •) Q. Why did the witness deny that he knew what had become of it Bekanse at that period the nute was mislaid. Q. Did not you know then where it was last night ?--A. No, I did not know before I went home: Ordered to withdraw. The SPEAKER.—." Serjeant At Arms, keep that man in close custody." The CHANCLLLOR of the EXCHEQUER made some observations relating to the propriety of ordering the witness to withdraw. - Lord FottsroNa, in reply, stated, that he did not order the witness to wjthdraw. He'had said he had no more questions to put to him. A Member proposed, that Mr. W. Smith, who went to Sanden's lodgings, should be called in and examined. The CH ANCELLOR Of the Exc It EqUER stated some oh:lei:lions, and protect that to be unnecessary. After a few observations from Mr. William Smith, Captain Satiden was again called in. The CH Alu P tior apprised him that the punishment he had reettived was not all the House had ((lei power of inflicting, and that he might expea to feel the effects of, the indignation of the House more se verely than be had yet experienCed them, if he per. sited in prevaricating before them.

Mr. SMITII then went on to .say, if was in his opinion useless to interrogate .suCh a witness any fur titer.' Last night he . had declared a paper to be of no importance,' which he now declared very int portant. Lord TEstri.E and dOl. FAANKLAVID concurred in Censuring the . falsehood of the Witness, and in ad. witting the inutility of examining him any farther. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEII said, it Was in vain to inquire farther into his motive for conceit!- in; the note; but was of opinion, by e;amining him. further, something of importance might be found ,out. , Mr. WARDi.F. Said, he understood It" had been hinted that he had endeaVoured 1a suppress evidence. The charge•was false; he never saw Sanden till he appeared at the -Bar. That he had been tampered with was obvious., Let it be proved when he had heed tampered With, and by whom, and he should be &it ished. The CHANCELLOR Of . the EXCHEQUER expressed his surprise that the Ifenourable Gentleman• should charge him with insinuating - and attacking him. He requested he would point out any one iexpression used by him that could justily t such an assertion. :He had done no'more than his duty in lending his assistance to the Royal Person who is the obje& of the incteiry. He desired the House to say' whether be had not acted towards the Honourable . Gentleman with openness and candour. He bad not, charged the Honourable Gentleman with wishing to suppress evidence, and he put tt to the House to say, whether in the staternent - which he bad made reopeaing this witness, be had not expressly said that the witness had not given in evidence all be knew, but had suppressed a material parrot It. Mr. WHITBREAD bore testimony to the candour of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and thought his Hon. Friend had taken up a wrong impression. Lord , HaNav PETTY entertained a similar opinion with the last Speaker. WABDLC observed, that the impression on, his mind: had induced him to make the observations, but he was very willing to admit that the impression was a wrong one..
